AMS Vans' wheelchair van options for non-emergency handicap accessible medical transportation all have customizable seating arrangements, giving you the ability to transport all wheelchair users, or a combination of able-bodied passengers and patients with disabilities. The AMS Edge and Edge II rear-entry mobility van conversions feature manual spring-loaded ramp accessibility, for example, that make either model an effective, economical handicap van ideal for medical transport.
All our accessible minivans have ramps that are extended four inches beyond typical length. The added length decreases the incline, which eliminates the need for expensive and unreliable kneeling systems. With the AMS Edge models, the wheelchair vans are rear entry, making it easier to load patients from narrow driveways, front entrance turn-around lanes, and non-accessible parking spaces. A special channel is cut into the floor from the ramp to the passenger area to guide the patient right to where they'll ride.
